Initial Study Areas & Goals · Prototype will focus on the Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay regions to support use cases for: · Invasive species · Climate change · Provide additional data to http://www.data.gov
4
Potential NAEOL Datasets · Integrated Taxonomic Information System · EPA Datasets: · Watershed boundaries, wetlands, stream segments, water quality, air quality · NASA Datasets: · land cover type, gross primary productivity, vegetation indices, land surface temperature, fire, etc.. · Smithsonian: · Chesapeake Bay watershed environmental and ecological data · Collections · USGS NBII · US mirror to GBIF · GAP species distributions · GAP Protected Areas · Global Invasive Species DB

Current Status · Working group has been established · DNS is being registered (http://naeol.gov)http://naeol.gov · EPA has Google Earth Enterprise application up and running for geospatial data · Site to be hosted at NBII · Developing Use Cases
6
Next Steps · Continue convening the working groups · Finalize on content management system · Continue delivery of geospatial datasets to EPA for installation on the Google Earth Enterprise (i.e. fusing vs. web-services) · Develop species mashup capability · Identify available web-services and enable
